TACTICO! for Educators...
TACTICO is a game of educational enhancement and assortment; it evidently assists with the effective development of the left side of the Cerebrum, which controls the analytical articulation of the brain.
Any content that causes operational exertion of the brain, and requires analytical and/or systematic thought, provides a mental ‘work out’ for ones Cerebrum.
The game requires individual players to make specific moves based on several factors including, but not limited to:
- The amount of game pieces on the board
- The move of the last player
- The probability of numbers
- The probability of moves
- The operational thought process of one’s next move
- The conclusive score of each round and the possibility of success in the proceeding round
All in all, TACTICO is a game that highlights potential in several key areas of education, educational development, mental strength and analytical thought. It evidently outlines development in mathematics, memory, mental strength and much more.

Aspects of Mathematics
Number Sense and Numeration:
Each student can achieve Basic mathematics in a very fun and eager manner. This is accomplished by using the game piece numbers for basic addition and subtraction of individual game results and player totals.
Probability and Patterning:
Predicting the probability of game results from using common game piece patterning. Students will see common game piece patterning of end game results with more and more game experience. By using the pattern techniques, they will also be able to predict the probability of end game result. Students may identify the favorable outcomes by using the learned pattern skills of advanced play Tactico.
Data Management:
Use of data from individual results provides a management tool to aid in the processing of predicting probability.
Students can keep a running total of individual game results. Gathering game piece patterning data helps aid in predicting the probability of the end game result from the game patterns currently being developed.
Charts and Graphing:
Use of chart results can provide and individual with personal result graph.Students can compile their individual results into personal charts and resulting graphs. This can provide personal achievement results in game wins, loses, average game scoring etc.

What Educator's Say About TACTICO!
"The resource will work well for rainy days and indoor recesses or simply as a stimulus for logic and mathematical thinking. The dialogue will surprise even the most pessimistic of us...The aspect of competition and self-improvement is obvious throughout the playing of the game...The product is excellent. The Game is delightful and the price is right!"
- Fred Mandryk, Principal (Durham Board)
'It was amazing to watch as the students determined ways in which they could leave their opponents with the last remaining piece! As a result of the enthusiasm that the game generated in our school, we have decided to purchase two per class, sharing the cost with our community council"
- Erni Vallee, Principal
